Good point. For those who didn't hear what he said, read this.

======

In an interview with a Virginia television station Friday, Portis and a teammate, offensive tackle Chris Samuels, defended Vick. Portis said that if Vick is charged and convicted of dogfighting, "then you're putting him behind bars for no reason."

"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property. It's his dog. If that's what he wants to do, do it," Portis told WAVY-TV in Norfolk.

Samuels laughed as Portis spoke and said it wasn't fair that people were rushing to conclusions about Vick's involvement. "You can't accuse this man of something and throw the book at him right now," Samuels said.

=========

Based on these statments, they all know it was going on and support it. I bet this is a just the tip of the iceberg.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Thug, maybe, but who are you to judge?

The indictment of Vick alleges that about eight young dogs were put to death at his Surry County home after they were found not ready to fight. They were killed "by hanging, drowning and/or slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."

These dogs didn't kill each other, they were tortured in the most cruel of ways because they would NOT fight. I agree, boycott NIKE and the NFL...

What a sicko.

Outta the game. Period. Fighting dogs is pure evil. It is in no way,shape,or form, a "sport".

===Dogs naturally fight more than humans.===

Two dogs meeting in nature and fighting naturally is one thing. Humans forcing these dogs to fight by torturing them is barbaric and you are a chickensh1t coward.

[zootallures2]

Dog fighting? What about all the world governments, businesses, propaganda media, and religious nuts, who engage in human fighting?

At least we don't have GUNOWNERDAN shooting his big mouth off about this

Vick, whether criminally involved in the enterprise or not, has shown himself to be the stupidest pro athelete since Bonds.

Bonds, according to indepent estimates, loses out on about 30 million a year in endorsements because of his involvement with steroid dispensers and an arrogant anti-fan attitude.

Vick, by just being involved with sadistics who enjoy training animals to rip opponents to pieces has just cost himself a fortune.

Not that he hasn't already made one but, as stupid as he has shown himself to be, I wouldn't be surprised to see him declaring bankruptcy in the near future.

Put this so-called tough guy in the pit with a couple of his beasts. I would pay to see him cry in pain......
